Gene Selven & Associates Acquires Chip Scale Review Magazine

Gene Selven & Associates Inc. has acquired the assets of
Chip Scale Review, a leading electronics industry
publication devoted to advanced integrated circuit
packaging and test, from Tessera, San Jose.
GS&A, a market research and publisher's representative
firm, has been responsible for Chip Scale Review's
advertising sales since last November.

Now in its third year of publication, Chip Scale
Review was started by Tessera, a developer of specialized
integrated circuit packaging technology, as a way to
promote the infrastructure for chip-scale packaging.

Gene Selven, president of GS&A, has assumed the post of
publisher from Dr. Thomas Di Stefano, Tessera's founder.
Ron Iscoff, the magazine's founding editor, continues in
that post and has also been named associate publisher.

"With its separation from Tessera, Chip Scale Review can
now fulfill its destiny as a truly independent,
advertiser-supported journal," said Selven. "Readers will
soon begin to notice significant improvements to the
publication that will affect everything from editorial
content to circulation," he added.
